OXO Good Grips 3-Blade Hand-Held Spiralizer

Definitely use the gripper part of the cap when you get close to the end of your vegetable you are using. It is very easy to cut your finger on the blades. Otherwise it worked great for the veggies I wanted to use. Also it is easy to clean up when you are done. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

I was inspired to get a spiralizer, and specifically this spiralizer, by Martha Rose Shulman's book "Spiralize this!". Inspired by that book, I got this spiralizer and also a Mueller Pro 4-blade crank spiralizer. With the Mueller, you turn a crank handle. With the Oxo you hold the veg in you hands and twist and push it into the spiralizer. The Oxo works like a Veg-ghetti (if you've ever tried one of those), but it does a better job, is easier to use, and is MUCH easier to clean. Compared to a crank spiralizer, the Oxo is a bit slow and tiring, but it works great for some vegs (especially softer vegs of odd shapes or sizes) where a crank spiralizer like the Mueller just won't work. So if you're into spiralizing things, it is good to have both types of spiralizer in your kitchen tool-kit. For an entry-level spiralizer (with the Mueller being the next step up), I give it high marks. It is inexpensive, compact, sturdy, and it is quick and easy to clean. And if you ever get a crank spiralizer, you will still want to keep it. It will still be the best tool for the job in some cases.

I used this for making zucchini noodles and ribbons. It worked well, but took more arm strength than expected to twist the zucchini. The green handle that is supposed to help with twisting the vegetable is worthless. The prongs on the handle dig grooves into the zucchini without providing enough holding power to twist it.

For ease of use, storage size, and not having to deal with a jigsaw puzzle of parts, this is the spiralizer you'll reach for and actually use. I started spiralizing veggies with one of those double-coned pencil sharpener-style gadgets a few years ago, but it was very limited and it broke a lot of my veggies without even spiralizing them. I then moved up to a fancy crank-style spiralizer with lots of parts and a catch basin, etc. It does a good job, but it's as much fun to get out of the cabinet as my food processer. I avoid it. This OXO, however, is just right. It makes me feel like Goldilocks, lol. I've used it with carrots, zucchini, cucumbers, sweet potatoes, and beets (wear food service gloves to avoid beet-stained hands) to make gorgeous and delicious veggie noodles. It's easy to use for large or small batches, and it cleans up quickly. I've been using the OXO single blade spiralizer for a year now, and the only downside is that it only makes one size of noodle. Just today, I thought "wouldn't it be great if it had interchangeable blades so I could make different cuts without greatly increasing the size or hassle-factor of the OXO." I looked on Amazon and - wow - was very pleased to see my wish had been granted. (If only it were always so easy, huh?) I'm ordering a three-blade model today! One last thing: the colorful blades, in addition to color-coding the blade type, make the OXO even more cheerful and fun to use - and they don't show stains the way the white plastic spiralizers do.

I knew I wanted a spiralizer, but wasn't sure how often I would use it. We have narrow kitchen with very little counter space so I was worried that the countertop ones would be stored in cabinets and promptly forgotten. Because I've had good luck with other OXO products, I decided to go ahead and spend a little more on this handheld spiralizer than the other options. I do not regret that decision. Even with hand issues, I can use this (If I were frequently spiralizing more than one veggie at a time, I'd maybe consider the countertop version instead). I like that this has the three blades as it seems like different veggies do work a bit better when using the larger blade and others work better with the smaller blade, the ribbon option is just a bonus. Don't bother using the top gripping piece until your veggie is down low enough that it no longer feels safe to twist without it, it works much better that way. It also works best if cut the veggie pieces is a nice straight flat line. I tried to spiralize some bent pieces -- it kind of worked, but the noodles were breaking too easily. It's relatively easy to clean but I would recommend using a bottle brush, especially one that has a smaller attachment (the kind usually designed for cleaning nipples on baby bottles) as it's hard to get a regular brush in some of the little nooks and crannies.

I only ended up using this product about two times. I initially used it for zuchinni but I found that the zuchinni I was using was too small for this. It was a struggle to get it to work right with smaller vegetables. I also tried it with carrots and struggled with that as well. It kept getting stuck and I had to work extra hard to push it in to get the desired results. Overall, it's an Okay product if you use it once in a while, but I wouldn't recommend if you're in a hurry and don't want to put in the work.

Fantastic kitchen tools for garden produce! The small, versatile size fits easily in my kitchen drawer for storage. It’s easy to use and produces fun food sizes!

Size saves drawer space in kitchen. Takes longer to use than a regular spiralizer, & I end up doing part of veggie by hand. However it does what I need

Works as intended. Towards the end, i tried using the protective handle however I don't know why the handle doesn't actually hold on to the vegetable strong enough to continue using. End up the top part of zuchinni was mush and i remove the handle. Carrot was too tough for the handle to to pierce in for the grip so... idk... but the bulk of it works as intended...

We are glad we got the three blade kit. We needed a better spiralizer to help us with our keto diet menu and this one was demonstrated to us by a friend who only had the spaghetti blade. There are times when the stronger 'noodle' the linguini blade produces is desired. Plus the option of flat spirals is nice to have. The cutting edges are nice and sharp and work well on soft vegetables. We have not tried firm veggies yet. I will report back on that experience if it is not positive.

Ich habe mich sehr schwer getan mit der Entscheidung und ewig recherchiert. Entscheidend war für mich letztenendes: 1) Klein und kompakt. 2) Einfach zu reinigen 3) Nicht zu teuer 4) Gute Erfahrungen mit anderen OXO Produkten (vor 20 Jahren in den USA gekauft und immer noch in Benutzung!) Punkt 4 war dann auch ausschlaggebend, weshalb ich nicht eines der gleich aussehenden NoName-Produkte zum halben Preis gekauft habe. Fazit: Der Spiralschneider ist für mich völlig ausreichend. Ich benutze ihn mehrmals in der Woche und da er schnell mit der Spülbürste gesäubert werden kann, musste er noch nicht mal in den Geschrirrspüler. Ich benutze ihn für folgendes Gemüse/Obst: Zucchini: super easy! Möhren: Ja, man muss Glück haben und dicke finden. Ab ca. 35 mm Durchmesser. Süßkartoffel: geht super, evtl. mit dem Sparschäler "in Form" bringen. Apfel: Bin überrascht wie gut das geht! Auch hier muss man den Apfel je nach größe etwas "schlank schneiden". Gurke: Etwas matschig durch die weiche Mitte. Das klappt mal und mal nicht, je nach Gurke … Ich finde nicht, dass man übermäßig viel Kraft braucht. Möhre und Süßkartoffel sind etwas fester, das ist etwas schwerer, aber ich koche ja überschaubare Mengen. Ich bin so zufrieden mit dem kleinen Ding, dass ich mich ärgere, nicht doch gleich die Version mit den zwei weiteren Klingen gekauft zu haben.

La verdad no sabía que esperar del producto pero me encanto! Compre el que tiene 2 cuchillas y está padrisimo. Súper sencillo de usar, se limpia fácilmente y queda súper bien! Yo herví un poco la verdura antes para que no estuviera tan dura entonces fue facilísimo hacerla espiral. Ocupa muy poco espacio en la cocina por lo que todavía es mejor! Dejo una foto de como quedo el spaguetti de calabacita.

Wir wollten unser Kleinkind an Gemüse gewöhnen und suchten nach einem einfachen Spiralschneider. Nach längerer Suche haben wir uns für diesen von OXO entschieden: Es werden drei verschiedene Klingen mitgeliefert und ein Haltegriff. Die einzelnen Teile können ineinander verschraubt werden. Damit kann das Produkt platzsparend aufbewahrt werden. Es wird ein kleines Booklet mit Rezeptideen mitgeliefert. Das gewünschte Gemüse (wir haben bereits ausprobiert: Kohlrabi, Karotten, Zucchini) in passende Stücke schneiden und auf die Klinge legen. Den Haltegriff auf das Gemüse spießen und drehen - und wir haben ohne großen Aufwand super tolle Spiralen. Es bleibt ein kleiner Rest zwischen Klinge und Haltegriff übrig. Außerdem wird in der Mitte ein kleiner Teil (ca. 0,5cm Durchmesser) nicht von den Klingen erfasst und kommt als "Stab" unten raus. Aber die Reste schneiden wir einfach und kochen sie zusammen mit den Spiralen. Die einfach Reinigung war letztendlich das entscheidende Argument für diesen Spiralschneider: Einfach unter fließenden Wasser abspülen und ab in die Spülmaschine. Wirklich sehr zu empfehlen und unser Sohn liebt Gemüsespaghetti.
